Austin Divorce Requirements

There are many common elements to a divorce, but each state offers different criteria on divorce requirements. When filing for divorce in Texas, you or your spouse must be a resident of Texas for at least six months, and a resident of the county in which you are filing for the divorce for at least 90 days.

The couple must declare the reason for the divorce.  They are many different types of divorce in Austin. A divorce can be acknowledged as a no fault divorce, which means the marriage has become insupportable and there is no chance for the couple to reconcile.

Grounds for divorce are specific reasons the court may grant a divorce. They are:

• Adultery
• Cruelty
• Imprisonment
• Mental illness
• Abandonment
• Living apart

Texas is a community property state, which means any property and debt accumulated during the marriage is split 50/50. If the couple cannot agree on child-related issues such as custody, support, and visitation, as well as spousal support and division of property and debt, the court will determine the rights of the parties. The court will, at all times, keep the welfare of any children in mind and do what is best for their emotional development.
